These numbers all come with Mazda's 2.5 liter Skyactiv four cylinder, putting out 185 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. This is up a bit from the Fusion, but only by a margin of 10 horses.

In any case, who cares what stuff you get, so long as the Mazda still looks like it does and drives like we hope it will?

Truth be told, it might look like the Fusion and the Mazda6 (which used to share the same platform in the past) are equally desirable, but we can't help but admit our crush for the Mazda. We can't imagine the Fusion is better to drive than the Mazda, and then there's always the 2.2 liter Madza6 diesel coming out in the second half of this year.
